Thanks for the info, I think its the lack of clear markings that made me feel like the PCN was unfair and I might be able to challenge it. If you google "disabled parking space uk" and click on images, that's what I'd expect a space to look like. This essentially has no markings on the floor, what is there is nigh on completely worn out (the "DISABLED" lettering in front of the bay) and only has one small sign next to the adjacent space. Had the floor markings been clear and white there would be no argument, not that there is anyway if there are no regulations covering it.
The fine is £35 so it's not the end of the world, I'll pay it and take a lesson to look more closely in future. In hindsight I should have known what with there being additional room in those two spaces. There used to be a big Sainsburys and Argos but they have closed down which is probably why it didn't twig.
